I thought this was a hip blog? I can get this info from my grandma.

For people like myself who live around there say, well there's still no parking in center square!

you can tell it's a corporate fundraiser because it inconveniences the people that live in the actual city by donating the free time of suburban employees for a charity that sponsors religious programs.

the last thing albany needs is the intrusion of even more outside interests that want to hire people from troy and latham. don't encourage these monsters.

Let's stop romanticizing farming - it's not fun, it's not all bucolic pastures and adorable baby animals, and it's not a great way to make a living. It's dirty, filthy, back-breaking 24/7/365 work that is done for the LOVE of animals, family, and the land. Let's start to RESPECT farmers and do what we can to see that they are actually able to earn a living.
